DAY NINE--JANET BEGAY

And finally, Janet Begay, the star of the show.

Janet's had a rough start to life, being motherless, a bad thing to be in a matriarchical society. Because no one knows who Janet's mother's people or clans were, they don't trust her much. Of course, Janet's mother is a goddess from Beneath, and the evil she's invested in Janet is pretty powerful.

Janet's dad, on the other hand, is a sweet guy who was seduced by the goddess. He raised Janet on his own, with the help of Janet's formidable grandmother (who can become a Crow).

Janet is a Stormwalker, which means she can draw power from nearby storms and use it to work amazing magic. When it's storming, nothing can stop her. When it's not storming--good thing she has Mick. Her power manifested when she was a kid, and it terrified her. With the help of Jamison Kee and Mick, Janet has been able to hone her power to a controlled weapon.

But now, another power is rising within her, and she's not sure that she'll ever get that one under control. (More about this in FIREWALKER and SHADOW WALKER.)

Question of the day: What do you think of the urban fantasy genre overall? Is there too much of it? Or can't you get enough? Do you think it mixes well with romance? Or not at all?

I enjoy reading urban fantasy and I don't believe there is too much of it. I also think that it mixes well with romance but a lot of genres do; it just in the horror genre that you will mostly likely die from it. ;)

I paranormal, sci-fi, and urban fantasy are the two main genres that I read the most. I dont believe there is too much of urban fantasy. In fact, not too long ago it been popular. I certainly will be reading this genre for years to come, because it provides a good escapism. I prefer my stories with a mix of romance. I love stories the best when they have romance, comedy, adventure, action, and kiss-butt heroines.

I love the urban fantasy genre and think there isn't enough of it but it's growing. I think it mixes well with romance, enticing me to read it even more since I'm a romance fanatic.
